The mountain temple has been incense for a long time. There is an old tree hanging in front of the door. The dead leaves fall with the wind. A path around it is trampled out, and there are withered yellow weeds on both sides.

The two or three Taoist officials were all slightly injured. They were walking on the way to get water, holding a gourd in their hands. Zhang Ling was getting darker and had a bandaged wound on his body.

The stream was clear, and the water stones were washed round and rolling. Several people in the raindrops held the water and drank it. They washed their faces and beat the gourds. They sat on the shore and looked into the distance without saying a word.

A gust of wind blew, and the raindrops suddenly shivered. The two Taoist officials looked at each other. One was in his thirties and looked a little higher. He said, "Sir, five more colleagues were killed this time, and now there are only six left, which is 70% off!"

"If we keep following us, even if we have a good foundation, we won't have much time left. This will obviously waste us to death again and again, sir."

"Shut up, this is a mountain temple, don't let anyone hear it. We are the officials of the court." Zhang Ling scolded.

"Sir, I'm too careful." A Taoist official in his twenties, named Shang Xiang, grinned with white teeth, said, "This mountain god is a lewd sacrifice, and there is not even a plaque. It's just a wild god. Can you hear us talking?"

"Even if I listen, can I still report us?"

"Sir, we had a dozen people at the beginning, and we had two additional times. There were still more than thirty people. Now we are almost dead. We are fighting one after another, and our magic power is exhausted. If we continue like this, we will die. And Daolushi will be seriously injured."

"Wow" At the stream, a small fish jumped out of the water and landed on the water again, rippling a circle of ripples. Zhang Ling glanced at Shang Xiang and sighed in his heart.

Shang Xiang's family was young and his younger brother died. Now he was almost alone. He remained silent and reached out to touch his arm. He was also stabbed in his arm. The wound was quite shallow. He only cleaned the wound and was reluctant to use his magic power to repair it. After a long time, he sighed: "But we can't retreat."

"Assassination of enemy generals is obviously beneficial to the court, and this is a great thing."

"Pei Ziyun didn't ask us to fight directly, but basically he was alone. We were only responsible for logistics and intelligence. What can we say?"

"And the above must keep an eye on it and record the whole process."

Speaking of this, the three people present were silent. This was the helplessness of the Taoist official. His capital, life and even the Taoist official were in Shangguan's hands. A Shangguan who was not aware of the law could deprive the magic of a mere yell.

Usually, I eat the salary of the court, but in times of crisis, I can’t help myself. Sometimes I have to sacrifice myself to die. If I should die, I will die together. This is the system and the court!

At this time, it was getting late, and the cool breeze and cold rain were floating, Zhang Ling said again: "If you want to retreat, you will be deserters. Not only will we die, but our whole family will be convicted."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly: "Agree! Otherwise, what else can I do?"

The three of them lowered their heads, and they saw Shang Xiang gritting his teeth, showing resentment, and suddenly clenched his fists.

Mountain Temple

The eaves were woven with webs, and the altar was placed under the statue of the gods, and there was an incense burner, which was already ruined and had traces of water flowing through it.

A corner was covered with straw, and the little girl sat tremblingly, looking at the roasted hare from time to time, emitting fragrance.

The beggar smelled the smell, took a deep breath, cut a small piece on the rabbit with a small knife, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then got up and served the roast rabbit to Pei Ziyun.

Pei Ziyun ate and said, "Although there is only a little salt, the meat tastes pretty good."

"May I have your name?"

"Luo Cheng." The beggar responded with respect, with his face yellow and muddy, and his only eyes were very firm.

Huh? This name is a little familiar. Pei Ziyun became an immortal in the earth. He never forgets it when he saw it. When he looked for his mind, he searched for memories, and his heart quickly moved.

After looking at it, the beggar was actually fourteen or fifteen years old. He was just wandering and had no nutrition, so he looked thin.

According to the memories of his previous life, this person was adopted by a noble man very early and soon became a success. The rumors came to the ears of the original owner. Although it was only occasionally, I was afraid that even the original owner could not remember where he heard it, but it was a noble man who could be rumored to be.

"It's just that according to rumors, this boy should have met a noble man last year, why is he still a beggar now?" Pei Ziyun tore the rabbit meat and hesitated for a while. The thought flashed through and understood.

"It seems that it is my butterfly effect. I have changed history and this boy missed the noble person." However, when Pei Ziyun is now, he doesn't care much at all. Just as he is about to speak, several Taoist officials came in with the gourd in their hands, put the gourd on the ground, took out the dry food from their arms, and handed the beef: "True Lord, please have a meal."

Pei Ziyun stroked his hand and cut the rabbit into several pieces. After everyone divided it, he said to the little beggar and the little girl: "Since you are in the temple, give me one."

"Xie Zhenjun." Although the little beggar did not understand Zhenjun's meaning, he could understand that Pei Ziyun was a big man. He pulled the little girl from afar. Both of them sat on the hay and got a portion of beef jerky food.

A group of people were just using water. Pei Ziyun's ears moved slightly and heard the movement. He was unmoved at the moment. Then he ate, and only accelerated his speed. He threw a silver medal, a silver, and a pack of dry food to the beggar: "You hide behind the statue of God. There is a secret room there. Don't come out. You can go to Yingzhou and Liujin Island afterwards. With this silver medal, someone will take you in."

As he said that, he got up, there was a faint sound of horse hooves. Several Taoist officials changed their faces and looked outside: "No, it's the Lu King cavalry."

Pei Ziyun smiled, with a hint of coldness and said, "I've caught up with you again. It seems that King Lu is really angry and is chasing him at all costs."

Just a "click" sound was heard to draw the sword, and a cold light appeared in the temple.

Looking outside, I saw a group of cavalry holding crossbows. It looked like fifty people were slowly surrounding them. As the cavalry approached, birds were alarmed in the low-high forest and flew towards the distance.

"True Lord, fifty people, looked like a patrolman, saw the mountain temple, so he checked it." Zhang Ling looked at it, his face gradually became ugly, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

In fact, this is easy to understand. The village is too easy to reveal the news. The people are the most snobbish race. Even if strangers are innocent, they may kill outsiders, let alone ultimatums.

For the safety of the village and for the possible benefits, I will definitely report to the official.

Since this is the case, the patrolman was looking for the wild strongholds, so the cavalry approached when they saw the mountain temple.

"If the True Lord was in full swing, it would not be difficult to kill these fifty cavalry."

"But it is obvious that the True Lord was exhausted after repeated assassination. Now this situation is in danger."

Just as I was thinking, the horse's hooves outside became quiet, and the sound of someone coming in seemed to be coming in the grass.

"The enemy has crossbows, and the field battle is not good. We are fighting in the temple. Everyone is ready. Once the enemy comes in, they will surround and kill immediately." Pei Ziyun said coldly. The remaining Taoist officials all silently prepared Taoism and drew their swords.

At this moment, Shang Xiang rushed out of the door and shouted: "Pei Ziyun is inside, I will abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

This man didn't want to die, and there was no one in his family. Since Pei Ziyun didn't give him a way out, let him die.

"Damn it" Zhang Ling was furious. Now that the few people were together, this man betrayed Pei Ziyun and wanted to die. He had sympathy, but now he was only angry immediately.

Seeing Shang Xiang running out, a trace of murderous intent flashed across Pei Ziyun's face, but he didn't move. With a kick, a firewood still burning fire flew out, like a sharp arrow, passing through Shang Xiang's back with a "pop" sound, and then fell to death.

"Ah!" The cavalry who had just rushed in, looked at the Taoist official and shouted for surrender, and died immediately. This blow was almost the power of a crossbow arrow. This was really terrifying and was in an uproar.

The cavalry were all in an uproar, and the bow and crossbow were in the strings. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The team waved their hand, took a few steps back, and took a deep breath: "Come on the crossbow, set off fireworks!"

Someone immediately took action among the armored soldiers, and a red firework rushed into the sky and exploded.

"People commander, do we want to break in?" The deputy team commander looked at the dilapidated temple with his eyes. King Lu said, killing Pei Ziyun and immediately promoted to the third level.

"We are just a team here. This person is really terrible. It is difficult to take down fifty of us when we go up. It is just right to summon a large army. If you dare to go up, if you ruin a big thing, I will ask you." The team was talking coldly.

The deputy team was listening to this, breathing suffocated, his eyes faded away, and he didn't dare to act rashly. As the team saw him surrender, he said again: "We just need to delay the time, once the army arrives, it will be a great achievement!"

A Taoist official walked through the gap and looked outside. A crossbow arrow was aiming at him, and there was a bonfire burning and thick smoke rose.

"True Lord, it's no good. They didn't come in. They lit fireworks and lit bonfires, as if they were reporting the news." The Taoist snorted.

Pei Ziyun closed his eyes slightly and listened to the voice outside: "There are more than fifty people outside, cavalry, wearing light armor, very cunning and did not come in at all."

In fact, this is also normal. In the past assassination and pursuit, Pei Ziyun and Taoist officials had magic power. The thing they like most was to lead to narrow terrain that could not be used. Once in this environment, it is not difficult to kill dozens of armored soldiers. However, if the tactics are used too much, the enemy is not a pig, so they will not be fooled. Pei Ziyun's eyes swept over several Taoist officials: "I'll kill you, do you still have magic power?"

Zhang Ling's face turned pale and looked at the crossbow with a cold light: "True Lord, we don't have much magic power, we can still communicate and flashing skills, no matter how many there are, there is no more."

"Okay, just have flashing technique. If you use it, I will go out and kill it." Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes, the True Lord shines!"

In the quiet rainy night, two white light spots suddenly appeared on the field. The team was reacting very quickly. When they saw the white light, they immediately ordered: "Close your eyes and shoot a crossbow."

The armored soldiers immediately responded to their orders, and heard a "puff" sound that suddenly cut through the disturbing rainy night. With dozens of sharp howling sounds, the rain of arrows rushed into the temple entrance.
